|

|
||
<para><command>systemd-mount</command> may be used to create and start a transient <filename>.mount</filename> or
|
||
<filename>.automount</filename> unit of the file system <replaceable>WHAT</replaceable> on the mount point
|
||
<replaceable>WHERE</replaceable>.</para>
|
||
|
||
<para>In many ways, <command>systemd-mount</command> is similar to the lower-level
|
||
<citerefentry project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>mount</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>
|
||
command, however instead of executing the mount operation directly and immediately,
|
||
<command>systemd-mount</command> schedules it through the service manager job queue, so that it may pull
|
||
in further dependencies (such as parent mounts, or a file system checker to execute a priori), and may
|
||
make use of the auto-mounting logic.</para>
|
||
|
||
<para>The command takes either one or two arguments. If only one argument is specified it should refer to
|
||
a block device or regular file containing a file system (e.g. <literal>/dev/sdb1</literal> or
|
||
<literal>/path/to/disk.img</literal>). The block device or image file is then probed for a file system
|
||
label and other metadata, and is mounted to a directory below <filename>/run/media/system/</filename>
|
||
whose name is generated from the file system label. In this mode the block device or image file must
|
||
exist at the time of invocation of the command, so that it may be probed. If the device is found to be a
|
||
removable block device (e.g. a USB stick), an automount point is created instead of a regular mount point
|
||
(i.e. the <option>--automount=</option> option is implied, see below).</para>
|
||
|
||
<para>If two arguments are specified, the first indicates the mount source (the
|
||
<replaceable>WHAT</replaceable>) and the second indicates the path to mount it on (the
|
||
<replaceable>WHERE</replaceable>). In this mode no probing of the source is attempted, and a backing
|
||
device node doesn't have to exist. However, if this mode is combined with <option>--discover</option>,
|
||
device node probing for additional metadata is enabled, and – much like in the single-argument case
|
||
discussed above – the specified device has to exist at the time of invocation of the command.</para>
|
||
|
||
<para>Use the <option>--list</option> command to show a terse table of all local, known block devices with file
|
||
systems that may be mounted with this command.</para>
|
||
|
||
<para><command>systemd-umount</command> can be used to unmount a mount or automount point. It is the same
|
||
as <command>systemd-mount</command> <option>--umount</option>.</para>
